strong lineup….. COYG

AmericanGooner

No defensive subs, he really is going for it! Me likey!

Kingsley

Would have at least like Mavropanos, but let’s just go for it.

Lee Brittain

Not eligible for EL is he?

DAF

Mavropanos is not on the squad list for Arsenal in Europa League I’m afraid.

BigArse

No worries, we’ve got 6 guys who can play in a back 4 already on the pitch. Let’s get after them! COYG.

Adrian

This seems to be 3-4-3. In case of any sen off (defensive), Emry might change it to 4-3-3

Abhi

Think that sounds right..plan A: Throw the kitchen sink at them, score the goals we need early, and revert to 4 at the back with Mustafi out and torriera in to tighten up the midfield… If we don’t have the goals by 70mins, plan B: bring on Miki and/or iwobi..

Vince

Who else can we put on the bench? Holding and Bellerin are out for the season, Sokratis is suspended, Mavropanos is not in the EL squad, Lichtsteiner has been out of the squad since his backache

Dazza

If only we had Holding available we could keep Mustafi off the pitch!

Rick

Mustafi to open the scoring with a header!

Scwibble

COME ON MUSTAFIIIIIII!

Berlingoon

Seriously, he not exactly a Nesta but he’s far from being as bad as people are saying he is. As a squad player I have absolutely no problem with him.

JB1

You will if he gives away a penalty for a pointless challenge

jw1

Without Mustafi PENS vs TOT and CP– we’d be sitting 3rd 3pts clear of Sp^rs.

midgunner

And without his goals we might be in fifth

CroArse

Few years ago he costs us three goals against Bayern.

David C

Missing Big Papa but this is a good lineup. I still would have chucked Leno in net but hopefully it won’t matter.

COYG!!!

Fergal

Cech was pretty good in the first leg.

LacaNewSigning

All Out war! To the last man! COYGooners!!!

Dave M

At least kinda Laca war…

Another Paul

Good line up. Slightly strange subs bench. 4 forwards when the most we could change is 3 and no defenders. Iwobi, Mhky, Suarez are all a similar sub….what happens if we lose two defenders to injury….fingers crossed

Shank

God love the Rennes!

Vince

2-0 to the Arsenal at halftime! You heard it here first! ?
Full time: 4-1 Aggregate: (5-4)

I AM ARSENAL

Cmon Mustafi . 90mins without incident

Make Arsenal Great Again

That’s not asking for too much. But then again, it’s Mustafi

CroArse

I would keep Leno in squad

Make Arsenal Great Again

We’re basically playing 8 strikers, I see. I like this attitude. Let’s go for it.

We are not out of it yet

12 different nationalities make up the squad. Have we ever fielded a team with 11 players from different countries? A good attacking line up with strength on the bench as well. CYG.

Hantal

A blistering start. Hopefully not easing off now
